Having problems configuring an encryted socket connection for Informix 9.4 running on HP-UX 11.11. I have the following in the sqlhosts :

idealtcp2 onsoctcp bass sqlexec4 csm=ENCCSM

The concsm.cfg file on the server contains :

ENCCSM("/u/informix9.40/lib/csm/iencs09a.sl","cipher[des]")

The concsm.cfg file on the PC contains :

ENCCSM("C:\Program Files\informix\Connect\lib\client\csm\iencs09a.dll ","cipher[des]")

The setnet32 contains : csm=ENCCSM in the options box.

When I then try to configure the ODBC connection, I get the following message on the PC :

[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver][Informix]CSS: error processing initilization string: C:\Program Files\Informix\Client-SDK/etc/concsm.cfg.

And on the server, I get the following in the online.log :

16:05:52 listener-thread: err = -14565: oserr = 0: errstr = : CSS: error reading data.

16:05:52 listener-thread: err = -25580: oserr = 32: errstr = : System error occurred in network function. System error = 32.


Any ideas ?

Hi,

Please test the following:

In the file sqlhosts on HP-UX, the name of CSM, must be between "()".
Examp. idealtcp2 onsoctcp bass sqlexec4 csm=(ENCCSM).

In the setnet32 change to csm=(ENCCSM).

Also, I think that, the space between "Program Files", may be a problem.

In the file concsm.cfg, i have:
ENCCSM("C:\Informix\lib\client\csm\iencs09a.dll"," mac[levels:high],cipher[all],switch[cipher:6,key:6]")
And work fine.

Gustavo.

Thanks for the info, Gustavo - it turned out to be my PATH environment variable on my PC. I'd got a previous version of I-Connect installed which was taking priority!

Hi Richie,

I remember that the Ibm-Informix Client SDK must be 2.81 TC2.
